Gherkins need training or trailing, preferably the former. I greenhouse grow mine although some varieties are outdoor. Which do you have?Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better...Albert Einstein

Gherkins will trail untidily across the ground. To get the most out of them I train them up poles as it saves space.Comment

If you cosset them (isn't that a lovely word? I'd like to be cosseted) they will carry on fruiting into October and just keep growing! I grew them up a little wigwam in the flower border and in a big bucket! Going to try a rose arch this year.
